Hi shihasck, welcome to Windows EightForums!
One of the quickest and easiest ways to change, at least, the color is to switch to a High Contrast Theme: Left Shift + Left Alt + PrintScreen then go to Personalization/Color and set desired colors.
Makes for a Windows 95ish look but..., it's one avenue.

Maybe download a bunch of colored folders as .ico & use them.
Otherwise I really think you will need a free program to do it.
